Tricia Guild Decorating with Color

One of the world's foremost interior designers focuses on color and its use in creating truly evocative personal interiors. Here, she shares her systematic approach to understanding and working with color, pattern, and texture, exploring themes that shape and inspire her stylish and sensuous yet playful sensibility. She begins by defining her notion of five basic color families and then demonstrates how to use color and pattern with impact and confidence to create glamorous, dramatic environments. Examples from her own acclaimed designs coupled with stunning original photography of real-world examples from all over the globe - from contemporary London lofts to coastal New England cottages and California Wine Country estates - complements a text rich in insight from the designer's perspective.
